Definitions

  • This invention relates to the method of building construction using prefabricated and tilt-up concrete panels and in particular to an improved method and fitting for attaching and fixing such concrete panels to structural steelwork.
  • pre-cast concrete panels including tilt-up panels are fastened to structural steel work, which is formed so as to provide a framework and supporting structure for a building in question.
  • the pre-cast concrete panels effectively function as in-fill or walls, floors etc., and the attachment of the pre-cast concrete panels to the structural steelwork is the subject of the current patent application.
  • the projecting tooth can be formed from any one of a number of preferred configurations including a projecting tooth formed on and protruding from the lip.
  • the projecting tooth can be formed from the punch waste or stamping waste of the aperture with the stamping waste being cause to form around so as to project in a downward direction from the clip.
  • the projecting tooth can be formed from a separate piece of punctual stamp waste formed from the lip itself.
  • projecting tooth is formed as an elongate partial extension or tab extending from the underside of the clip body positioned so as to encompass the aperture.
  • the angle of deflection of the lip is about 5° or sufficient to accommodate the thickness of said structural steelwork and/or allow for compression of said clip during fixing of said concrete panel.
  • the rebate formed in the concrete panel is preferably cruciform.
  • FIG. 2 shows a rebate former
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the clip fixing a panel to structural steel.
  • FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the clip where the interlocking tab is produced by punching the aperture and bending a portion of the clip underneath so as form the tab.
  • FIG. 7 shows yet another embodiment of the clip where the interlocking tab is welded onto the clip around the slotted hole to sit in a square recess formed in the panel.
  • the downwardly deflecting lip includes a short projecting tooth 6 , protruding from the underside of the lip 3 in the downward direction adopted by the lip 3 relative to the body 2 of the clip 1 .
  • the angle of deflection of the lip 3 relative to the body is shown in the figures but would generally be expected to be in the order of about 5° or an angle selected to accommodate the thickness of the structural steel 12 as can be seen in FIG. 3 .
  • the panel clip of the invention is adapted to interact with a rebate 11 , preformed in the panel 10 during casting and construction of the panel.
  • a rebate former as shown in FIG. 2 is used, so as to provide a cruciform rebate by virtue of the four cruciform arms 7 of the former in addition to a central plug 8 .
  • the rebate former provides four options for engagement with the panel clip of the invention and thereby provides complete versatility during construction of the pre-cast panels which can then be fitted to structural steel using the clip of the invention in a variety of orientations.
  • the panel clip of the invention allows pre-cast concrete panels incorporating the rebate to be raised and positioned in relation to the structural steel formations wherein the positioned panels can then be fitted and fixed to the structural steel by use of the panel clips of the invention where the user would fit a clip to the panel, such that the body of the clip would sandwich the structural steel member between the panel and the body per se., with the lip 3 and tooth 6 of the clip, being placed within the rebate 11 formed in the concrete panel.
  • a fasting means 5 or bolt can then be passed through the elongate aperture or slot 4 and fitted to a threaded insert or ferrule 9 , positioned within the panel 10 .
  • the bolt or fastener is then tightened, drawing the body of the clip down onto the structural steel member and tightly and snugly sandwiching the structural steel between the panel and the clip thereby securely fixing the panel to the structural steel.
  • the inclined lip of the clip provides a measure of compliance and sprung tension to ensure the bolt does not loosen or come undone.
  • the panel clip of the invention can be used in conjunction with the applicant's SEKURELOKTM washer as detailed in co-pending patent application PCT/AU2006/001371.
  • FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7 alternative configurations of the panel clip of the invention are shown where different methods of forming the tooth 6 are provided.
  • the projecting tooth 6 is shown as being formed from the punch waste material projected from the clip body 2 during formation of the aperture 4 .
  • a very economical method is provided for the formation of the projecting tooth without requirement for a separate provision and fitting of a tooth to the downward deflected short-lip 3 .
  • This particular embodiment of the invention provides for the bending and formation of the tooth into a position commensurate with the position of the tooth as shown and previously described with reference to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 6 an alternative method of forming the projecting tooth 6 is shown where this particular embodiment provides for the preparation and formation of the tooth as punch waste material resulting from the pressing of the lip from within the width of the downward deflected lip 3 .
  • this method of forming the projecting lip does not require the separate step of forming and fixing the tooth to the downward deflecting lip and provides some economies in manufacture.
  • FIG. 7 another embodiment providing an alternative method of forming the tooth 6 is shown, where the tooth in this particular embodiment takes the form of an elongate tab 6 extending from the underside of the body 1 .
  • the positioning of the elongate tab correlates with the position of the aperture 4 so as to encompass the aperture so as to ensure the adequate provision of an anti-rotational function of the clip relative to the position of the fastening device.
  • the clip of the current invention is its ability to be securely fixed to structural steel without the need to weld the clip onto the steel.
  • the provision of the projecting tooth and its interaction with the rebate formed in the panel ensures that the clip does not rotate or move outside its specified fitting configuration.
  • the elongate slot and cruciform preparation of the rebate ensures that the panel clip is readily fitted and does not provide an impediment or require unnecessary alignment with a threaded insert or ferrule 9 positioned to be in the panel 10 .
  • the clip of the invention is easy, efficient and safe to use in the sometimes exposed environments required for constructions of this type.
